About me
Im 14 years old, i attend a local dance school and singing lessons i also attend Stagecoach and im studying for LAMDA, i love anything Musical Theatre and dance i enjoy being at home spending time with my brothers playing in the garden with them, Im interested in Geography and History.Im quiet Random and Creative and can be a bit of a loner i wouldnt say im bullied at school, but i dont think other girls generally understand me i like my own company and find sometimes the dramas most girls have purely a waste of time, i have a few close friends mostly at Dance school.
My Youngest brother has Autism it can be tough sometimes Dance and performing is my escape i find it a huge release, autism is really tough for siblings too, im told im professional i hope thats true, i enjoy working with other professionals and taking direction i work well under pressure too.
im happy go lucky good outlook, im fun i do have a serious side but i try to wait and see rather than worry.
Dance wise and performing im a perfectionist im told im too tough on myself ! i love meeting new people finding out their story and pushing my boundaries a bit.
